A little dated (Oct 2010), but here's KDFWS take on the status of LC:

Read this before and I don't totally buy it. Do you really think the KDFW is gonna tell you the lake isn't worth fishing, they sugar coated this deal. Yes there is alot of truths to this article but there is some bigtime down playing in it to.

Look at the pics of the guides day in and day out, yes there is an occasional good fish caught but NOTHING and I mean NOTHING like it use to be. Again I'm not paying hundreds of dollars to catch 2 twenty four to 30 inch fish, no way. That is not a bust on the quality guides at the big C either that work their asses off daily so please don't take it or turn it that way.

even if they fix the dam and bring cumberland back to it's old self, it would still be a good idea to stock laurel with some striper or hybirds. I think two lakes in ky with striper in them would be great. everyone thinks they won't stock laurel with striper because of the trout. 20 miles from laurel lake is woodscreek lake and it is over stocked with trout. the hybirds would mix well with the trout in laurel, they stocked a lake in eastern ky, called fish trap lake with hybirds, and the hybird and trout fishing are both good in fishtrap. and it's a smaller lake than laurel.

True stripers are NOT Hybrids they are Rockfish, two totally different animals my friend.
